Goose chasing meme: more money in whose pocket, motherfucker?

Seriously. We’re talking about shitcanning a third of the us auto jobs. Who’s gonna get the money from that nightmare?

How can we expect those communities to take it lying down when they saw what happened and continues to happen to coal country?

This isn’t fake made up handwavey bullshit. These are the real effects of domestic ev production and we can’t just say “anyone who opposed evs is a conservative piece of garbage or a head-in-ass neoliberal economist.”

-The proceeding was a paid for commentary by economists of UAW.

No really, the parts/labor breakdown of an ev skews farther to parts than an ice car. Who gets that money in their pocket in exchange for all the jobs?

What happens to the families and communities that depend on the jobs that are going away?

Have we learned anything from the failed reskilling of Appalachian coal country?

Come on man it is Friday night. You can punch out. UAW isnt paying you to work the weekends

Come on, is the best insult you got that I sound like it’s my job to defend workers?

Really and truly, where will the labor cost savings go? There’s going to be one, so who gets it? How will that be enforced?

What’s gonna be done for the people whose labor isn’t needed anymore? Bear in mind we’re not just talking about the protagonists of the now forty year old song “Allentown”, but entire industries that support ice car production like die making and machining. Surely we have some idea of what happens here aside from “theyre fucked, some people’s blood and bonemeal grease the rails of progress”.

You can’t just handwave away the real effects of changes in productivity in the name of abstractly defined technological progress.

If you can’t seriously engage with the effects of a transition to producing electric cars then it’s no wonder American conservatives are making so much hay over it.
